I am concerned because some fringe groups are using the situation in Spirit Lake to make the case that tribes cannot manage their own affairs.
Tribes are inherently sovereign. This is a fact that was recognized by our founding fathers, and that is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
No one cares more for Native American children more than their tribes and their Indian families.
Child abuse is wrong, period. And, as a society, we must ensure our young ones are protected at all times.
it is unfortunate that the responsibilities that the tribes take on for themselves sometimes don't come with equivalent funding opportunitie...
Especially from you, the Chairman, please do not stop asking the Federal Government for help and resources.

It is outrageous that 8 million people have been arrested in the last decade.
Congress is also out of touch, I would suggest, because Congress established the schedules that you referenced in your opening statement.
